CHARLES J. LIVINGOOD, Care of Dr. James C. Livingood, Womelsdorf, Pa. * * * * * I am a reader of YOUNG PEOPLE, and like it very much. I am thirteen years old. My father is Register of Deeds for Coos County, and I help him. I can record ten deeds in a day. And I can cook and do all kinds of housework. I would like to exchange pressed ferns or flowers with any readers of YOUNG PEOPLE. I also have about twenty-five plants, and would like to exchange slips. I have a small collection of birds' eggs, containing about twenty varieties, and would gladly increase my collection by exchange. FRANK B. FLANDERS, P. O. Box 630, Lancaster, New Hampshire. When our correspondents request an exchange of delicate and perishable things, like slips of plants, it would be well for them to state a safe way of forwarding them. * * * * * I find YOUNG PEOPLE a very useful little paper. I will exchange six specimens of Nantucket sea-weeds, mounted on paper, for six pressed wild flowers from California or Florida. Or I will exchange sea-weeds for birds' eggs or flower seeds. I am ten years old. ETHEL M. JOHNSON, Nantucket, Massachusetts. * * * * * I have a nice collection of beetles, and would like to exchange with some correspondent in the Eastern States. S. B., Office of _Journal of Commerce_, 414 Clay Street, San Francisco, California. * * * * * ALBERT M.--We have not yet published any such description. * * * * * BESSY.--Yes, you may send the history of your dolls. If it is interesting, and not too long, we will try to print it in the Post-office Box. * * * * * G. W. D.--Any number of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE can be obtained by sending full address, and amount in clean postage stamps, to Harper & Brothers. * * * * * NED B.--By referring to the advertisement of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE you will see that one or more copies of the paper will be sent to any address, on receipt of the price, _postage free_. * * * * * C. FLAGLER.--Probably the correspondent to whom you wrote for exchange has received so many letters that he has not yet had time to answer you. We know this to be the trouble with some of our correspondents who have asked for exchange. Alice I. Paine, of Georgia, has recently written to us that she has received over fifty letters, and finds it impossible to answer them all separately, or to make an exchange with every correspondent, for as nearly all asked her for the same kind of eggs, she can not procure enough to satisfy the demand. Those who have failed to receive an answer from Miss Alice will please take notice of this explanation, which we make at her request.
